It was a really beautiful way to start the New Year. Sion and Lizzy worked tirelessly to be hospitable hosts the whole night. It was also a very intimate atmosphere which made it easier for a loner like me to strike a conversation and feel included in the festivities. However, please ditch the scotch eggs. They tasted like they were out there since the previous year!
